Komatsu has announced that it is acquiring certain assets of Matfield Machining to support the growth of its national field service teams, which support mining operations at customer sites throughout the United States and Canada.
The purchase includes a 14-acre site with a shop and warehouse in Safford, Arizona, U.S., which will serve as the hub for Komatsu’s U.S. National Field Service team and equipment to expand the team’s milling and machining capabilities. Komatsu anticipates it will hire the former Matfield employees to help expand the service team.
“The asset purchase will expand the capabilities of our National Field Service team to provide mining customers a full-service, turnkey offering for major equipment rebuilds and field work. Acquiring these heavy machining assets and adding skilled operators and technicians will fulfill that need.”, said Josh Wagner, VP and GM of North America mining distribution for Komatsu.
